Artist: "Weird Al" Yankovic
Genre: Comedy
I was gonna introduce this dude in April for the A to Z, but why wait till them to show you the genius that is Weird Al?
I don't think that anybody is quite as goo at song parodies as this guy is. He mimicks songs in a way that nobody else quite does, and he manages to make a good copy of the videos that go with them.
Like this one for instance. I'm pretty sure everybody has heard Michael Jackson's song Bad, but if you haven't seen the video I urge you to take a second to watch it so you can appreciate what Weird Al did.

This really is one of my favorites of his. And you're right: the video is what makes it. Anyone can do a song parody, but his video imitations are what put him over the top.
